Jessica Simpson's ready for a change. The teen pop singer from Texas is hoping to make a musical transition with her next album, and told LAUNCH what to expect from a 'new' Jessica.

'My new record that I'm working on right now, it's gonna be called 'In This Skin' and it's just about my life--and actually, I get to write it, which is the first time I've been able to write my own music, and it's going to be very inspirational,' she said. 'My album's going to be very musical, all live instruments, no programmed stuff. I want my voice to be able to shine for the first time.'

Simpson also plans to change her image and presentation, moving away from the dance pop shows of her fellow female artists who all came up in the late '90s.

'No more choreographed dancing for me. I'm over it; I don't want to do it anymore,' she said.
